Funding

There are many ways to raise the money you need. Banks for example lend money to new businesses just starting out. They will need to be convinced that it is a sound business idea and that you will be able to repay the money borrowed. If you are considering moving into self employment and you receive benefits, you need to take advice before you decide what to do. You need to be fully informed before making any decisions about starting work because the rules about benefits and self-employment can be quite complicated. Don't be discouraged though! You may still be able to get some benefits to support you.
